MG 750 Overview: Generations and Buying Guide

Overview of the MG 750 sedan (2006–2016): one generation, 160–183 hp, automatic transmissions, front-wheel drive, and which version to pick.

The MG 750 is a front-wheel-drive sedan produced from 2006 to 2016 with power outputs ranging from 160 to 183 hp. All versions come with an automatic transmission, which makes the MG 750 a straightforward choice for drivers who want a traditional four-door car without manual gearboxes or drivetrain options to weigh.

MG 750 generations

1 generation (2006–2016)

The first and only generation of the MG 750 was built from 2006 to 2016 exclusively as a sedan. The lineup counts 2 modifications, both with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, spanning 160 to 183 hp. The MG 750 2.5 AT (1 generation) sits at the top of the range with a 2497 cc engine producing 183 hp, acceleration of 10.2 seconds, and fuel consumption of 10.5 l/100km. The MG 750 1.8 AT (1 generation) uses a 1800 cc engine rated at 160 hp, accelerates in 9.5 seconds, and consumes 9.4 l/100km. Notably, the 1.8 AT is quicker than the 2.5 AT despite the lower power figure: 9.5 seconds against 10.2 seconds.

Which MG 750 to buy

Buying a used MG 750 is simplified by the model's structure: one generation, one body style, one transmission type, and one drivetrain across the entire 2006–2016 run, so there are no cross-generation differences to check — the choice comes down to the 1.8 or 2.5 engine. Later production years within 2006–2016 are simply younger cars of the same design.

Which MG 750 to avoid

The numbers in this lineup do not favor the MG 750 2.5 AT (1 generation) on paper: it is slower (10.2 seconds versus 9.5 seconds for the 1.8 AT) and thirstier (10.5 l/100km versus 9.4 l/100km) while offering 23 hp more (183 against 160). If acceleration and fuel consumption are the priorities, the 1.8 AT dominates by both measures, and the 2.5 AT only makes sense for buyers who specifically want the larger 2497 cc engine and the higher 183 hp output.
